This Pretty Province
Welcome to This Pretty Province! Where history gets loud, layered, and just a little bit chaotic. From ancient sirens to medieval queens, saint parades to street politics, we explore the stories that shaped Italy one province at a time. No boring textbooks here—just legends, rebellions, gay saints, cursed volcanoes, feminist witchcraft, and superstitions. If you’ve ever wanted to binge history the way you binge true crime or period dramas… you’re in the right province. We're journeying through the Regions & Provinces of Italy first; join us!
